Well-wishers:
"I always thought he was a better guitar player than I was.
He always wrote and rewrote all of the songs he did.
He's a great singer and performer, too.
It seems no matter how bad he's doing, he will still send you
a cache of rare 78's that he's found on a tape.
We spent a lot of hours stealing songs and trading licks."
Paul Geremia

"The guitar world misses your fingerpicking and the CD is a
fine reminder of how good you played."Stefan Grossman

"He's one of the finest individuals you will ever meet.
When we made that tape, he said, "let's do all new songs.
I want to do either songs that I've written, or songs that are new to me.
I don't necessarily want to do any "Suitcase" songs, or songs that I'm known for."
We played them for the first time on that tape.
We never played in the same position and we used different tunings and capos to separate the instruments.
I think the results are stunning."Martin Grosswendt (referring to tracks on "I Remember Me" and
"Rhymes With Alimony")
